I would like to clarify that I am not worried about your past, DL - I am definitely curious - but not worried.

And I am not trying to change you either - you are who you are - and never pretend to be anything else.

For this topic, your past only has significance that it got you to how you see things today. And you are probably the best example to illustrate how this is true since you really only have one true desire/need in life and all decisions (and I mean all) start there. And the actual desire and need is not my point either...

My point is you have one desire/need. It does not matter how you got there or what it is, you have one need. My point is, in itself - having just one need will make people see things related to the need when they very well may not.

I think it is on you to make sure you are seeing things objectively; you are the one with the one need - make sure you are accurate.

I know you think you are accurate and I believe you are accurate...most of the time - however, there are a few times that I think you are not being objective. These times are easy to spot because it is the only time I see you even get close to being heated. lol!! (But see, that you even get close to being heated when you normally don't just kind of proves my point that you may not always be objective...)

Just something to think about...

Was there a frogette in the past, who you loved with all of your little green heart, that always assumed you were in the wrong?

LizziePooh,

I think you are missing that I have quite a lot of screens ... it is likely that I have an outlying view toward economic equity and a tendancy to post often on that subject (which is itself one of the most common topics), that causes you to see it as more substantial than other screens.

I could see that if it had been made clear that you have no desire to pick up the bill all the time and she still sits back expecting the benefit of your wallet regardless, but if the reciprocation requirement has not been made sufficiently clear in conversation either before or during the date then all she is doing is obeying the prevailing social custom, and without information to the contrary why shouldn't she do so? Most women i know assume a guy is ok with paying unless he specifically says otherwise.
Yes - I can see this point too.

But D_Lion has posted here many, many times that he likes women who are willing to take initiative and reciprocate interest. It is possible that when she doesn't financially participate in dates, his screening system may interpret this as lack of initiative and lack of interest. D?

Meri is exactly right - though this is not the only reason.
